Fasst 200 MG Tablet Dt 6 contains cefpodoxime proxetil (200 mg), which works in the body as follows:

• Inhibits cell wall synthesis: Cefpodoxime disrupts the production of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, which provides strength and rigidity to the cells.

• Binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs): PBPs are enzymes involved in assembling the peptidoglycan layer. Cefpodoxime binds to these proteins, effectively inhibiting their function.

• Induces cell lysis: By weakening the peptidoglycan layer through PBP inhibition, cefpodoxime causes bacterial cells to rupture or lyse due to internal pressure.

• Broad spectrum action: Unlike earlier cephalosporins, cefpodoxime is effective against a wider range of gram-negative bacteria due to its stability in the presence of many beta-lactamases.

• Store at room temperature, ideally between 30°C.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Be sure to use it before the expiry date.

• Stay well-hydrated, especially during treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs), as this helps your body flush bacteria from your system.

• If you're managing a respiratory infection such as bronchitis or pneumonia, avoid smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke, which can irritate your lungs further.
